A year-round skin plan for the Arizona sun
When to schedule lasers, peels and injectables around 300 days of sunshine.

Living in the desert means fighting UV exposure almost every day of the year. A plan that times treatments to the seasons gets better results with fewer setbacks.
October to March: correct
This is laser and peel season. Lower UV index and more time indoors make it the best window for Luminous Renewal, IPL and medium-depth peels.
April to September: protect and maintain
Shift to monthly HydraFacials, light brightening peels and neuromodulators. Keep SPF 50, a hat and an antioxidant serum in your daily routine.
Year-round: build collagen
Biostimulators and skin boosters aren't sun-sensitive, so they fit anywhere in the calendar. Many members start Sculptra in late summer so results peak by the holidays.
